Description
A comforting one-pot stew with savory sausage, tender potatoes, and rich cream, perfect for cold nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sausage (chicken, turkey, or plant-based)
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute)
- 2 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
- 1 carrot, diced (optional)
- 1 celery stalk, diced (optional)
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino (optional)
- A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Dice potatoes and chop onion and garlic. If using kale, remove stems and chop the leaves. Remove casing from sausage if necessary.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the sausage for 6–8 minutes.
- Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 30–60 seconds.
- Stir in diced potatoes and let cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and add a bay leaf, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12–18 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and chopped greens, and simmer for 3–5 minutes until greens wilt.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice or cheese before serving.
Notes
For a thicker stew, mash some potato pieces against the pot side before adding cream. Leftovers taste better as flavors meld.
